Betty Ireland, West Virginia's Secretary of State, announced she is backing the implementation of optical scan voting machines. According to a March 14 Associated Press story by Erik Schelzig, Ireland is recommending optical scanner systems because "one, they comply with federal requirements; two, they keep a paper trail; and three, they're affordable."
Thankfully more and more elections officials across the country are realizing that paper-based voting systems not only provide more security, but are also more economical than electronic systems.
